Rafflesdials.com. Ali has cheap and good hands For NH movements
Thanks. I also read the same on another thread.
If I go NH, i would need a Raffles case and this is another can of worms.
I like the JKF case a lot.
Actually, my issues came from the damaged tube thread, which caused ripple effects. It was snagging the crown. Pls I had not glued the tube enough. And finally, my flimsy movement holder crapped on me
Anyway, I have ordered a new tube, a spare tube and crown, new stems and a spanking new seagull ST2100. plus a metal movement holder.
Let's see
NH will be for a 1016
my first try was blue loctite. But as i mentionned, the tube-to-crown thread was snagging...and the whole thing came apart on unscrewing.
Then i used hypo, and the tube stayed in place.
however I had a click click sound on screwing, driving me crazy. When I tried to investigate, I probably took the stem off at manual wind instead of time setting, and the stem would not lock back in...
anyway, what's done is done
I learned a lot
Thank you for writing this up, I have a jkf case too that I've been too scared to start reshaping but you've inspired me!
Just completed I cannot wait to pick it up.
JKF 2836 = Reshaped with PCGs, thinned lugs and chamfered.specs?

Yes indeed but will probably be worn on my heavily worked on 7206 Viet Rivet bracelet with gen clasp cover. I also have another reworked 93510 bracelet which might go with it too.

Bracelet thinned and brushed and Rivets and edges softened. Also a bit of work on the end links to get them to fit better.
so I got my orders from Ali
1. the 24-7030 tube does not fit the JKF case not the crown
2. the tube and crown from Raffles does
3. one of my rivets ends from the JKF clasp have gone. Anyone knows the rivet diameter? my order for 6mm is too big
4. tried with the new Ali stem...yup Keyless fucked up. Impossible to insert and lock the stem into it

If the tube doesn't fit you may have to retap the tube hole on the case
The best is to check the rivet on the other side with a caliper
In which position did you put the crown when removing the stem ?
For 2836 / 2824 crown should be in winding position to remove the stem.
+ lube the stem before insert the stem back
thanks. What oil should I use for the stem?
for the position, I don't remember. My movement slipped feom the cheapo plastic holder and this is what messed everything up...I am waiting for a metal holder to start resetting the keyless.
But I will try the stem oiling first. who knows...maybe it will work

Moebius 9501 grease ... just a little drop on the tip of the stem and on the 4 sides of the square that the sliding-pinion slides up and down
I also use Moebius 8300 ... a little more sticky but works well
Plastic movement holder
To work on the downside of a movement you definitely need a metal movement holder to avoid damaging the second wheel pinion
To work on the dial side, as long as you removed the automatic winding parts, you can use any clean and flat surface
I use a cushion like this ... good copy of the Bergeon 5395-75 and 1/3 of the price
To properly reset a 28XX keyless works you can have a lot there ... all steps are detailed
Removing stem on 28XX movements ... ALWAYS with the crown/stem in winding (1st) position (when you've worked for years on chinese 2813 or same it sounds and looks weird as with those movements the stem/crown must be in hour setting (3rd) position)
First wind the movement a bit so that the balance starts moving ... that way you can be almost certain that your stem is in 1st position
Gently press the release button ... NOT too much ... them pull the stem out
If you already messed up the keyless works then no chance you can insert the stem ... even with lubrication
